Should be an easy find in the Dead Centre of Goomaling.
I enjoyed hunting down a couple of richlink's "Last Known Address" series of caches, and having spotted a large number of cemeteries in my travels I asked richlink if I could add to the "Last Known Address" series of caches. I received a reply in the affirmative on 5 May 2009, but I couldn't find my Round Tuit, so it took me a while to place any. (See my GC1RB3G WanAus 95 - Round Tuit if you don't know what that means.)
I was wandering by on a maintenance run, eventually heading to Bruce Rock for the annual Back To The Bush Veterans Reunion, but my first cache on the run was GC20FFE WanAus 152 - LKA Wyalkatchem, and GC2VC16 Putty Put and Possims by Blair Family in Goomalling was almost on the direct line to it.
After finding the cache I went back to the main street leading out of town and came across the Goomaling Cemetery. I was surprised to find it didn't have a cache, so I decided to rectify that situation.
The cache is not at the above co-ords but it is where you will find some of the information to locate GZ.
At the posted coords you are looking for the headstone of F/O George Alfred White R.A.A.F.
ABCDEF = the numeric part of his Service Number.
Waypoint 2 can be found at S31°16.830' E116°50.064'. Here you will find the headstone of Lance Corporal A.W. Western A.I.F.
GHIJK = the numeric part of his Regimental Number.
Waypoint 3 can be found at S31°16.864' E116°49.994'. Here you will find the headstone of Sergeant Dorothy Eileen White R.A.A.F.
LMNOPQ = the numeric part of her Service Number.
Waypoint 4 can be found at S31°16.849' E116°50.015'. Here you will find the headstone of Patrick Leslie Ponton 28th Aust Inf Bn.
RSTUV = the numeric part of his Regimental Number.
Waypoint 5 can be found at S31°16.859' E116°50.004'. Here you will find the headstone of Fred Chattaway 2/3 Field Regiment.
WXYZ# = the numeric part of his Regimental Number.
The cache can be found at S31°GF.PT(M+S)' E116°TY.QCV'.
I originally tried to keep to the simple style of Richlink's caches, so they were all micro containers, although some were bigger than others. I had problems with the waterproof integrity of many of those containers, so I am progressively replacing them with small screw-top containers which should be more waterproof.
The cache is a drab camo'd 500 Ml round screw-top container, with log book, finders cards, two pencils, a pen, a pencil sharpener, and a few swaps. Please be sure to put the lid on tightly and conceal it as found, and watch out for muggles.
